In what was the coldest Thanksgiving Day on record (this morning’s low of 9 degrees at Syracuse’s Hancock Airport breaks the all-time record for low temperature on November 22nd), Finger Lakes area residents went about their holiday business. There was feasting, football, friends and family. Below are some of our favorite posts on social media from Thanksgiving Day 2018 in the FLX.

Thanksgiving tradition: old man basketball at the Academy. Some young fellas showed up this year. I need oxygen! Not sure if I'll make our annual Old Brookside Turkey Bowl father/son football game now. Sore!!!

To everyone who has to work today, in the squad car or in the ambulance or fire hall, at the convenience store or hospital or 18-wheeler, at the electric company, the evening news or the ship at sea, we love you and appreciate you, but we're not saving you any turkey.

As Thanksgiving winds down, people shift their focus to Black Friday. At Destiny USA, customers were lined up at 4:30 p.m. looking to get the best deals! Are you going Black Friday shopping? pic.twitter.com/crhWBWbbKL

For the holiday (not the date) both #Buffalo and #Rochester set record low maximum and record low minimum temperatures. With clear skies and light winds, the lows for the holiday may even go lower (before midnight). #Brrr pic.twitter.com/h9OIjKzaaD
